I hate using the term 'classic' to describe music. It's a presumptuous term that has a very loose definition. It seems by the laws of the internet that the term can be chucked at some albums unquestionably and yet superior albums cannot be classics.
To me, I think 'classic' means to have stood the test of time, but even then I think it's unfair to say an album released in the last 5 years cannot be considered classic.
I just prefer to use adjectives; good, great, super, bad, average, terrible, etc.
